Princess Penelope thought she was through with evil wizards and mysterious discoveries. The dark wizard William, an unfortunate distant relative of Penelope's family, was defeated. The secret room of Yendor, William's ancestor and even darker wizard, was opened and its contents, hundreds of gemstones full of powerful magic, were now safe and sound with Rutherford, Astoria's royal wizard. The last thing Penelope wants is to be swept off on another magical adventure. Unfortunately, fate has other plans for Penelope. While attending a leadership summit in Astoria's neighboring kingdom of Galanthia, Penelope is kidnapped and finds herself a prisoner aboard a pirate ship in the Dragosian Sea. The pirates' mission is to find a mysterious treasure buried on a deserted but dangerous island. Only Penelope has the ability to find the treasure, a fact which is keeping Penelope and her family safe... for now. While Princess Penelope waits for rescue or an opportunity to escape, she deals with new foes, cranky pirates, and even more dark magic. What will happen to Penelope when the pirates find their treasure, and will she ever see her friends and family again?
